Book Description:
"The Corpus Hermeticum are the core documents of the Hermetic tradition. Dating from early in the Christian era, they were mistakenly dated to a much earlier period by Church officials (and everyone else) up until the 15th century. Because of this, they were allowed to survive and we seen as an early precursor to what was to be Christianity. We know today that they were, in fact, from the early Christian era, and came out of the turbulent religious seas of Hellenic Egypt.
These are all taken from Mead's translations, which are in the public domain at this point." (Quote from sacred-texts.com)

About the Author:
"John Michael Greer (1962-) is an author, occultist and religious leader who resides in Ashland, Oregon. His involvement in occultism began in his teen years when he began studying the Golden Dawn tradition of ceremonial magic. He was initiated into the Druid faith in the early 1990s and currently serves as Grand Archdruid of AODA, the Ancient Order of Druids in America. In 1993 he received a bachelor's degree from the University of Washington, magna cum laude, in Comparative History of Ideas.
His first book, Paths of Wisdom, a study of the Golden Dawn system of Qabalah, was published in 1996, and has been followed by many other books on occult topics. Greer also writes the Archdruid Report, a blog he describes as 'Druid perspectives on nature, culture, and the future of industrial society.'" (Quote from wikipedia.org)
